Nvidia to put $3 billion into Meta's share sale as AI ties deepen

what happened

Nvidia and Meta Platforms are widening their collaboration around Muse, Meta's AI offering, which the companies said reflects customer appetite for useful AI agents. Meta plans to deploy more Nvidia hardware, including Vera Rubin systems and Vera CPUs, to run its next generation of agents. The two firms are also weighing joint work on tracking how those agents behave.

Separately, Nvidia will put $3 billion into the equity fundraising Meta has planned. On Monday Meta said it intends to raise as much as $95 billion through several waves of stock sales to fund its heavy spending on AI infrastructure. The first step was roughly $35 billion, and the common stock portion was later lifted to $25 billion. Class A shares are priced at $625 each, while depositary shares tied to mandatory convertible preferred stock are priced at $50.

According to TradingView, citing RTTNews, Meta shares slipped 0.06% to $630.20 and Nvidia shares fell 0.46% to $215.01 in overnight trading on Nasdaq. Dow Jones Newswires also reported the partnership expansion.

why it matters

The size of the raise is what matters most for markets: a program of up to $95 billion would add a large new supply of Meta stock. Nvidia's participation, from a key chip supplier, reads as strategic backing for the plan. Investor reaction will depend on how well the offerings are absorbed and whether the AI spending pays off over time.
